Flop bet should be around 25% pot.
Turn you can't check behind since you are OOP,. You are not getting called by worse especially with Qh blocking the main FD you beat. Trivial check and probably c/f against under bluffing microstakes pool.

I agree, turn is a check and I dont really understand the shove. What is the reason behind the shove? I think this is the most important question. Is it for value or bluff?

It's hard to pin down opponents ranges in this spot. I think we mostly have QQ+, AK, some AQs and KQs and maybe A5s as our cold 4b bluff??? Not sure that will be in there. We are more concerned about his range here. I think QQ-TT are almost always in there, AA/KK at some small frequency, AK, maybe some AQ, maybe some KQ, Some Axs.

I usually simplify this spot and just jam flop with QQ/KK here and check AA and JJ (if I have it). I would also just jam my NFD's (if they are even in my range).

If we employ a 3 option strategy, can't really go wrong either betting smallish or ripping it in.

Keeping ranges the same, there is very little EV loss (as shown below) employing a Jam strategy here. These ranges also assume that our opponent is playing perfectly and has the ranges I used. If they have more Ax/Kx in their range, equity denial becomes even more incentivized.
